I still need to try out your example here (it would be nice if you
could give a more complete , even minimal one, showing the problem).

But one thing I can see is that you should use this instead of the line above:

selector = hildon.TouchSelector(text=True)

Unfortunately, it seems that for some reason the "text" attribute was
only added to the garage SVN (there should have been a 0.9.0-1maemo11
fixing this), I'll upload the updated version still today.

Thanks,
